Sounds like every other PC fax modem.  Something that would be nice is a
standalone FAX modem that would handle either a text stream or an encoded
image, that could be used from anything with a serial port.  Something like:

	ATDTxxx-xxx-xxxx
	CONNECT FAX Gn
	<either bitmap or straight ASCII with formfeeds--autodiscrimination
	 would be a win>
	DISCONNECTED

and the same for incoming calls (perhaps without the ASCII version).

I guess I'll keep on dreaming...
